What is a VPS? If it’s a server, there’s nothing new here. I thought it’s a 2 in 1 client+server technology like you can do in old Minecraft Java versions (your machine is both a server and a client of its own server)
Yes, it’s a virtual server that you can get from a provider like Digital Ocean. It’s not running on your machine locally, it’s the same thing that the admins of Mastodon instances have to do to run Mastodon servers.
It’s really up to you how you set up your server and the datastore. This has nothing to do with Hollo. Again, there’s no difference between this and running a Mastodon server that will also need infrastructure like a db to back it.
No, it means you run your own VPS to host your personal blog.

Huh I thought the servers were real and ran on bare metal of volunteers like it’s supposed to be
pretty much nobody runs servers on bare metal nowadays
Huh but how about security? Is anything even zero access encrypted???
